As the veil falls we see the
True nature of the beast;
Lies can only remain unseen
While we sleep.
As the veil falls we see the
True nature of the beast;
Lies can only remain unseen
While we sleep.
Call me a silly girl
If you will
I just don’t care anymore.
And i was tied to the riddles of your mind too long
Crawling along on my hands and knees
Finding scraps and pieces;debris.
Forgetting who I am,
My heartbeat ceased.
Now i am rolling the dice,
Look and tell me what you see.
You won’t even look at me.
I am tired of lie after lie.
Call me a slow girl
If you will,
I just don’t care anymore.
Left or right
It don’t make no difference.
I was a fool in the beginning
I ain’t
A fool no more.
Blink and
I disappear.
And all i see is dust in my
Rear view mirror.
The wreckage of me reassembling.
Abused. Ill-treated.
Born into barbed wire boundaries.
Reiterate,
Reiterated
Over and over
How incapable one is
To even make a simple decision.
(Wrong. Wrong again)
To celebrate joyfully,
To make a sound could set fire to surroundings.
Destruction.
Loose track of truth as lies are the padding between
Being reprimanded physically
Or
Verbally.
Blurred lines
And confusion.
(Mock and shame)
How to interact;
Manipulation
False praises and head games.
How to explain
Voice crushed,
Airway blocked.
To whisper brought trembling
To body
And tears to brim
To which people yelled
“Speak up!
What is your problem?”
Some people
Keep a place in their home
For misery.
They invite it to come sit by the fire
And welcome
Misery
Feed them
Fine lies
By hand.
Momma said she quit
And a thousand times
I smelled it sleeping on her breath.
Lies. Secrets. Whispers.
Deals in the shadows.
Cop cars and knives.
Mixed in the coke can,
I’d take a sip and choke.
Swallowed with pills.
Bottles
Almost empty.
Tucked behind the bed.
Hidden in drawers and shelves.
She thought she had me fooled
But then she’d forget.
Between
Sunset and sunrise
There he lies.
Between Heaven and
Hell
There he writes.
Can you see his secrets
Beneath the lines?
Can you hear his truth
Between
The lies?
Standing in the house.
Trying to hold the walls up while the shadows die.
Windows cracking,
Shattering to pieces
As the
Elephant
Is let loose
Wrecking havoc.
Some are still sleeping,
Or pretending too
In scattered spaces.
They sleep half awake
Hoping and praying that in the morning
The sun will be showing
And all will be put back in its place.
Instead they will find a
Big gaping hole filled with
Broken memories and tear stained letters,
Fragments of half truths
And lies.
Just another
Elephant in
Disguise.
Write
Breathe
Write
Eat
Write
Sleep
On these papers I do keep
Truths and lies
Hopes and defeats
And only I know the difference.
With your voice you try to
Distract
While your eyes do all the
Lying.
I see your true existence behind your eyes.
I feel the wounds.
The ache
You try to hide.
And some,
As the walk by
Believe the lies
You guard in your smile.
Not I.
And yet,
Not I.
